Brie what lighting are you using? Looks like everything is so happy!

Awesome set up. I love the germination tub.

Thanks. The top shelf currently has 6 T-5s... A 4 bulb Sunblaze, with added 2 single bulb Sunblaze strips.. the second shelf has 4 T-8s.. and just added 2 Sunblaze T-5s to the center of the shelf for some added light.

We have germination! lol. My Mt Roraima D. intermedia seeds are showing life.. Quick too, 12 days from sowing to germination.

Rearranged again.. The D. binatas are just getting way too big for the second, shorter shelf.. So they got moved back up to the top where theres more head room.

My 2 yo D. multifida's newest leaf.. Finally developing nice 12ish point leaves.

D. m. "extrema" new leaf... Looks like this one will be a 24 pointer

I moved my horde of baby Marston Dragon's out of water today and onto media.. Using GrowSundew's method of a clear plastic cup.. I like how it saves space and looks clean.

While moving the binata's around, I noticed my extrema has a ton of baby hitchhikers growing in its pot... I spot a couple D. cape "albas" in there but who knows what the others are.. There were nidiformis flowers, cape "Broadleaf" flowers, cape "all red" and spatulata flowers all on the shelf with it at one point..

Shorter dews moved down to the second shelf

My first pretty utric flower... First flower ever from my U. calicyfida

So thanks to Reaper's post of Focus Stacking images, I decided to try my hand at it.. I think I got the hang of it, the key just is that I need to NOT move the camera at all.. Had some failed attempts due to the macro lens zooming in on something too much. Click on these to see em in full size, they look much better.

From an earlier date, but since the images I took were all variously focused, I decided to toss em together.. it did indeed improve the overall sharpness.

Beautiful plants!

Is that a Pinguicula lutea? I've always wanted one of those. One of my favorite pings. Have you had it for long, and has it been an easy grower for you? (Some sources say it's hard to maintain long term in captivity.)

Danke. It is indeed P. lutea... I havent had it for very long, but im planning on cutting the flower stalks and trying to sprout them like leaf pullings.. so with any luck I may have extras come spring.

Do you by chance know what kind of calcyfida that is? I love it.. I've got 2 different kinds of calcyfida. Would love a 3rd.

 

[Wolfn]

Very nice Brie! You are definitely getting the hang of focus stacking.

 

[Brie]

Thanks fred! The gemmae pics were actually stacked too, couldnt get enough of the photo in focus due to the angle/aperture. So worked well for that too. lol.
